• Mr. Richards : Listen, that new stock boy, Switcher, has been promoted. He'll be doing windows at night. I just want you to keep an eye on him for me.

  Felix : Do you suspect pilferage, sir? I'd be happy to strip-search him.

  Mr. Richards : You people that work at night scare me. I want you to just watch him, let me know what he's up to, how he works.

• Claire Timkin : Good news, Jonathan. We've not only decided to keep you on, but I'm promoting you to visual merchandiser.

  Jonathan Switcher : [surprised]  You're kidding! That's great! What is it?

  Claire Timkin : Just keep doing what you did last night and you'll be fine.

  Jonathan Switcher : Mrs. Timkin, I'm not sure I can do it again. Last night might have been a one-time inspiration.

  Claire Timkin : [encouraging]  Oh Jonathan, don't doubt yourself. Go with it. Feel it. You're doing the job you were meant to do.

  Mr. Richards : Well, you must lead a charmed life. It was all I could do to save your skin in there. No thanks are necessary, Switcher!

• Mr. Richards : [on Jonathan]  What arrogance! That worm of a stock boy has created an affront to the dignity of this store. I'll have it taken down immediately and make sure that lunatic never works in this town again.

• Felix : [handing Mr. Richards a container of shoe polish]  Here, Mr. Richards. You had better put some camouflage on sir.

  Mr. Richards : I am not going to put shoe polish on my face, thank you. Now, could we please get into the store, Felix?

  Felix : [seeing Jonathan and Emmy leaving]  It's him! It's her! Ooh, that little prevert! He's stealing her before we can!

  Mr. Richards : Okay, let's not do anything rash! We'll follow them quietly and look for just the right moment to grab them.

  Felix : Don't worry, Mr. Richards. I'm an expert at surveillance. Hang on!
